Only saying this because we could attract some newbies from me hauling my stuff there and only using an H100 and such lol..... unless I can somehow "acquire" your pot lol.

Then I can help them into it like you guys did and then you can slap me up on the head when I explain it wrong lol.

Definitely a good idea! Most of the benchers are very willing to help out others and give pointers

There may be some extra pots laying around if someone needs one. I have a basic aluminum pot that won't hold temps worth .... but it's available if someone wants to play around nonetheless.

Again, the only thing I can't stress enough is to take the time and insulate your board ahead of time and have your OS setup to avoid spending half the day setting up. Also check out the thread I linked to earlier with recommendations of items to bring

If you need help with any insulation/prep, don't be afraid to do a quick search or start a thread! There are several ways to insulate a board and everyone has their own preference Feel free to PM me if you want to go over insulation. I'm not much of a bencher but I can insulate boards LoL.

A blind silent auction of some high end gear would be great. Basically everyone just writes a price that they are willing to pay for an item and places it a box, highest bidder gets the prize. Each ballot would be numbered kind of like penny tables.

I'll have to take you up on that this summer my good sir! Planning on acquiring a lot of 775 chips and beating the snot out of them for a week or so and getting a lot of boards and older gpu's and such. and basically just having a ball lol. Along with my dad to betetr explain what benching is. he's very computer illliterate lol.

Heck if I'm truly able to go I could do the LAN and then say screw it time to burn my i7 again and have my dead one with me as a reminder of my 1.98 volt fun times lol. and Show the LANers that it's fun to bench and see what your hardware can really do. might bring a friend if he's interested enough.
